How To Concatenate Stored Procedure Varchar Variables
Oct 11, 2007
Hi , I am trying to write a stored procedure (i have given it below).i am basically trying to join 4 strings into one based on some if conditions.But the result gives only the intially assaigned string and rest are not getting concatenated.i have provided teh stored procedure below along with the inputs and result i got.Can anyone Please help me to acheive this set ANSI_NULLS ONset QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ONgoALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[TestSearch] @distributorId int, @locationId int, @orderTypeId int, @fromDate Datetime = NULL, @toDate Datetime = NULL, @OrderStatus varchar(500) = NULL, @TaxAuthority varchar(500) = NULL, @TaxStampType varchar(500) = NULLASBEGINDeclare @SQL varchar(8000)Set @SQL ='select * from Orders AS a INNER JOINOrderLines AS b ON a.Id = b.FkOrder INNER JOINTaxStampTypes AS c ON b.FkTaxStampType = c.Id where ''' +CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),@fromDate ,1) + ''' <= CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),a.OrderDate ,1) and ''' +CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),@toDate ,1) + '''>= CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), a.OrderDate,1)and a.fkordertype = '+ convert(varchar(1),@orderTypeId) +'anda.FkDistributor = ('+ convert(varchar(50), @distributorId)+',a.FkDistributor)anda.FkLocation in ('+convert(varchar(10),@locationId)+',a.FkLocation)and'IF(@OrderStatus != null)Beginset @SQL= @SQL + 'a.FkOrderState in ('+ @OrderStatus +') and' EndIF(@TaxAuthority!= null)Beginset @SQL = @SQL +'a.FkTaxAuthority in ('+@TaxAuthority+') and'EndIF(@TaxStampType!= null)Beginset @SQL = @SQL + 'c.id in ('+ @TaxStampType+ ')and'End--Execute (@SQL1)select (@SQL);ENDHere is the Input Given to stored Procedure for executing:DECLARE @return_value intEXEC @return_value = [dbo].[TestSearch] @distributorId = 1002, @locationId = 3, @orderTypeId = 1, @fromDate = N'06/10/07', @toDate = N'10/10/07', @OrderStatus = N'2', @TaxAuthority = N'1000', @TaxStampType = N'1000'SELECT 'Return Value' = @return_valueHere Is The Output i get when I execute the stored procedure: select * from Orders AS a INNER JOIN OrderLines AS b ON a.Id = b.FkOrder INNER JOIN TaxStampTypes AS c ON b.FkTaxStampType = c.Id where '06/10/07' <= CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),a.OrderDate ,1) and '10/10/07'>= CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), a.OrderDate,1) and a.fkordertype = 1 and a.FkDistributor = (1002,a.FkDistributor) and a.FkLocation in (3,a.FkLocation) and--Ajay
Hi everyone, I'm writing a stored procedure where I need to concatenate two XML strings. I would normally write XMLx = XMLy + XMLz However because the variables are in XML SQL2005 doesn't like this and if I convert them to strings the XML structure gets lost. Anyone any ideas ? Thanks D.
Does anyone have code example on how to concatenate fields in a SQL Server stored procedure? I would like to create a stored procedure to concat (off_name ' ' off_fname ' ' off_prior) to a field to bound to a combobox. Thanks, Ron
HiI want to achieve the following transformation of data using a storedprocedure.Sourcecol1 col2(varchar)-------------------------1 1.11 1.22 2.12 2.22 2.3=================Desired Resultcol1 col2(varchar)--------------------------1 1.1 | 1.22 2.1 | 2.2 | 2.3=====================Thanks in advance. :)- Parth
tbl_Projects ------------------------- ProjID | Description ------------------------- 1 | First 2 | Second 3 | Third
I want to write a SELECT statement that will output in this format: 1 - First 2 - Second etc...
I've tried these two statements:
SELECT (ProjID + ' - ' + Description) AS Projects FROM tbl_Projects //Error: Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'First' to data type int.
and
SELECT CONCAT(ProjID, CONCAT(' - ', Description)) AS Projects FROM tbl_Projects //Error: The data types int and varchar are incompatible in the concat operator.
Is there any way to concatenate an int value with a varchar value?
I've got a fairly standard query that does a group by a type column, and then sums the lengths of a VARCHAR column. I'd like to add into that a concatenated version of the string always concatenating in primary key order. Is that possible?
Hi! I am kind of new to the sequel server and I have to write a stored procedure to create raw of my table. I wrote the following stored procedures, but I am not sure weather I can use variables in select statements as in the following procedure. Could you please explain what is the problem, why I am getting an error, when I am trying to create it? <The error says that there is an incorrect syntax near '@tbleName' in lines 21, 25 and 30>
Thank you very much! Elly.

I am writing a stored procedure that basically gets a whole lot of info. Simple enough... that part works. Now I want to add functionality to pass in sortBy and direction variables so the results can be sorted from a web page. The code I have is:
Code:

I am taking my first steps into stored procedures and I am working on a solution for efficiently paging large resultsets with SQL Server 2000 based on the example on 4Guys: http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/042606-1.shtml The problem with my stored procedure is, is that it doesn't seem to recognize a variable (@First_Id) in my dynamic Sql. With this particular sproc I get the error message: "Must declare the scalar variable '@First_Id'"It seems to be a problem with 'scope', though I still can't yet figure out. Can anyone give me some hints on how to correctly implement the @First_Id in my stored procedure? Thanks in advance! Here's the sproc: ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.spSearchNieuws(@SearchQuery NVARCHAR(100) = NULL,@CategorieId INT = NULL,@StartRowIndex INT, @MaximumRows INT,@Debug BIT = 0)ASSET NOCOUNT ONDECLARE @Sql_sri NVARCHAR(4000),@Sql_mr NVARCHAR(4000),@Paramlist NVARCHAR(4000),@First_Id INT, @StartRow INTSET ROWCOUNT @StartRowIndexSELECT @Sql_sri = 'SELECT @First_Id = dbo.tblNieuws.NieuwsId FROM dbo.tblNieuwsWHERE 1 = 1'IF @SearchQuery IS NOT NULLSELECT @Sql_sri = @Sql_sri + ' AND FREETEXT(dbo.tblNieuws.Nieuwskop, @xSearchQuery)' IF @CategorieId IS NOT NULLSELECT @Sql_sri = @Sql_sri + ' AND dbo.tblNieuws.CategorieId = @xCategorieId'SELECT @Sql_sri = @Sql_sri + ' ORDER BY dbo.tblNieuws.NieuwsId DESC'SET ROWCOUNT @MaximumRows SELECT @Sql_mr = 'SELECT dbo.tblNieuws.NieuwsId, dbo.tblNieuws.NieuwsKop, dbo.tblNieuws.NieuwsLink, dbo.tblNieuws.NieuwsOmschrijving, dbo.tblNieuws.NieuwsDatum, dbo.tblNieuws.NieuwsTijd, dbo.tblNieuws.BronId, dbo.tblNieuws.CategorieId, dbo.tblBronnen.BronNaam, dbo.tblBronnen.BronLink, dbo.tblBronnen.BiBu, dbo.tblBronnen.Video, dbo.tblCategorieen.CategorieFROM dbo.tblNieuws INNER JOIN dbo.tblBronnen ON dbo.tblNieuws.BronId = dbo.tblBronnen.BronId INNER JOIN dbo.tblCategorieen ON dbo.tblNieuws.CategorieId = dbo.tblCategorieen.CategorieId AND dbo.tblBronnen.CategorieId = dbo.tblCategorieen.CategorieId WHERE dbo.tblNieuws.NieuwsId <= @First_Id AND 1 = 1' IF @SearchQuery IS NOT NULLSELECT @Sql_mr = @Sql_mr + ' AND FREETEXT(dbo.tblNieuws.Nieuwskop, @xSearchQuery)' IF @CategorieId IS NOT NULLSELECT @Sql_mr = @Sql_mr + ' AND dbo.tblNieuws.CategorieId = @xCategorieId' SELECT @Sql_mr = @Sql_mr + ' ORDER BY dbo.tblNieuws.NieuwsId DESC'IF @Debug = 1PRINT @Sql_mr SELECT @Paramlist = '@xSearchQuery NVARCHAR(100), @xCategorieId INT'EXEC sp_executesql @Sql_sri, @Paramlist, @SearchQuery, @CategorieIdEXEC sp_executesql @Sql_mr, @Paramlist, @SearchQuery, @CategorieId
SELECT * FROM Cards WHERE CASE @Type = 1111 THEN CardType = 1111 ELSE CardType = 2222 END
GO
I know that the part after WHERE is wrong. But what I would like to achieve is this:
if the @type variable equals 1111 then get alla the rows with that value in the CardType-column. The same if @type = 2222, and if @type is any other value, then choose all rows regardles of the CardType value.
I want to convert a SQL query as shown below into a stored procedure:
select name from namelist where town in ('A','B','D')
If I want to make the town as the input variable into the stored procedure, how should I declare the stored procedure? As far as I know, stored procedure could only handle individual values, and not a range of values.
I am using a table variable inside a stored procedure that I am trying to execute from an OLE Datasource task in IS. I know there was a problem doing this in DTS, which would result in an Invalid Pointer error. I am not getting that error, but I am getting an error that says "[OLE DB Source [55]] Error: A rowset based on the SQL command was not returned by the OLE DB provider." The stored procedure runs fine on it's own.
I have a stored procedure. Into this stored procedure i need to pass values to a 'IN' statement from asp.net. So when i am passing it , it should b in like a string variable with the ItemIds separated by commas. the procedure i have is :
create procedure SelectDetails @Id string as Select * from DtTable where itemid in(@Id)
Here the itemid field in DtTable is of type int. Now when i execute the produre it is showing error as the Itemid is int and i am passing a string value to it. How can i solve this problem?
I have a foreach loop in my SSIS script. I am able to successfully enumerate through an input query. I have a script task inside of my container. I would like to use this task to formulate a Stored Procedure and save this procedrue in a variable so I can use in a future Execute SQL task.
Here is a copy of the code (Which Does Not Work) I am using in the script task to set the variables.
In the SqlDbType enumeration there is no value for the new (max) types, only varchar. If Im passing a large string, it will get cut off at 8K. So how do I specify my varchar parameter as being of the max type ?
Hi All, I have a Stored procedure as below.. create procedure sp_sample @name varchar(12) as begin set @name = (select name from mytable where id = 1) select @name end
how can i return the varchar value from the above Stored procedure? I want to capture it in SQLFetch ODBC call.
I'm having the following (abbreviated) stored procedure:
Code Snippet
CREATE PROCEDURE proc_SomeSmartName @SomeVariable VARCHAR AS BEGIN SELECT COUNT(ID) AS SomeLabel, SomeField FROM SomeTable GROUP BY SomeField HAVING SomeField = @SomeVariable END Now my problem: It doesn't seem to work if I give the @SomeParameter a string to work with, neither via SqlCommandObject nor directly in the Management Studio. The following returns zero rows:
Code Snippet
DECLARE @return_value int EXEC @return_value = [dbo].[proc_SomeSmartName] @SomeVariable = 'MyText' SELECT 'Return Value' = @return_value Funny enough, when I have the following query, it works perfectly:
Code Snippet
SELECT COUNT(ID) AS SomeLabel, SomeField FROM SomeTable GROUP BY SomeField HAVING SomeField = 'MyText' Returning one row as it should. SomeField is an NVarChar field, but I tried casting it to VarChar without any benefit, and I also supplied the parameter as NVarChar to test, both without further success. And 'MyText' does exist in the database, in both cases when I run the stored procedure and when I run the SQL statement directly.
Hi, I need to include two input variables in my Order By Clause in a stored procedure like ORDER BY @column @Dirction. But MS SQL does not allow me to do so and gives an Error 1008. How can i solve this problem?
HiI've heard 2 things recently, can I confirm if their true/false?(1) If you have a stored procedure and you want to optimise it you cancall exec proc1,you could also use define/set for each of the variables and copy thecode into query analyser,this then makes it easier to tune. However the optimiser worksdifferently for these variables than it does for variables passed intothe query via exec and will produce a less optimalplan(2) There is a different optimiser used in query analyser than thatused otherwise? A colleaguehad a problem where a stored procedure called from dotnet code wasrunning slowly butone run from query analyser via exec, with exactly the same arguments,was running quicklyta
How do I pass system variables to a stored procedure? Is it possible to have an OLE DB transformation with the following sql command: exec InsertIntoLog @MachineName, @TaskName...? Do I have to use a Derived Transformation first to 'convert' variables into columns and then use exec InsertIntoLog ?, ? ...
I have a stored procedure which returns a count of products and a limited number of rows from a query.
I am using SQL Server 2005 and calling the procedure in asp.net
The procedure is as follows
Code Snippet
GO ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetProductsByCategoryId] @Category VARCHAR(255), @Range INT, @PageIndex INT, @NumRows INT, @CategoryName nvarchar(255) OUTPUT, @CategoryProductCount INT OUTPUT AS
BEGIN
/* Get product count */ SELECT @CategoryProductCount=(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Products LEFT JOIN tblVar on Products.ProductID = tblVar.prodidvar WHERE Products.Category=@Category AND Products.Range=@Range)
/* get full list of products */ With ProductEntries as ( SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY Products.ProductID, tblVar.idvar ASC) as Row, field1, field2 FROM Products LEFT JOIN tblVar on Products.ProductID=tblVar.prodidvar WHERE Range=@Range AND Category = @Category )
/*get only needed rows */ SELECT field1, field2 FROM ProductEntries WHERE Row Between @startRowIndex and @startRowIndex+@NumRows-1
END
The problem seems to be with the line
AND Category = @ Category in the query to make the ProductEntries
If I take this query and run it in an SQL pane I need to enclose the argument for @Category in single quotes. If I try to do this in the procedure it simply searchs for @Category as a string rather than the value of @Category.
The query returns and displays results with no problems without this line, and also if it is returning a result set that has no values in tblVar to join to.
Also if I run the query on just the Products table removing the left join it will return results with no problems.
Thanks to anyone who can help!
And I apologise if it is something simple but asp and SQL Server is not my usual coding platform.
in the statement, where @sql is defined as DECLARE @sql varchar(Max). the problem is that this statement produces results that are in excess of 8000 characters and the results are truncated. Is there anyway to avoid this? I know that it's not possible to user ntext/text as a local variable, and if i try to return the result as an ouput paramater, only the first result is returned.
my code is based off of this article http://www.sqlteam.com/article/dynamic-cross-tabs-pivot-tables Thanks for any suggestions.
I have a stored procedure where I gather some data and then insert the data into a table variable. I then attempt to go through each row of the table variable, asign the values to local variables to be inserted into other tables. However, the local variables show as NULL.BEGIN DECLARE @tblcontact table ( SOKey int, Cntctkey varchar(60), Cntctownerkey int, LASTNAME varchar(32), FIRSTNAME varchar(32), WORKPHONE varchar(32), EMAIL varchar(128), processed int DEFAULT 0 )
I would like to use variables to set the table name and some column names of a SQL Query in a stored procedure (the variable values will come from a webpage)... something like this:ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.usp_SelectWorkHours @DayName varchar,@DayIDName varchar AS BEGINSELECT @DayName.InTime1, @DayName.OutTime1, @DayName.InTime2, @DayName.OutTime2 FROM @DayName INNER JOINWorkHours ON @DayName.@DayIDName = @DayName.@DayIDName INNER JOINEmployees ON WorkHours.WorkHoursID = Employees.WorkHoursID END RETURN ...is this possible?? if so how? Thanks
(I have searched this forum extensively, but still can't find the solution to this problem)
Here it is:
I have step in my ETL process that gets facts from another database. Here is how I set it up:
1) I have to package variables called User::startDate and User::endDate of data type datetime
2) Two separate Execute SQL Tasks populate those variables with appropriate dates (this works fine)
3) Then I have a Data Flow Task with OLE DB source that uses a call to a sproc of the form "exec ETL_GetMyData @startDate = ?, @endDate = ?" with parameters mapped accordingly (0 -> User::startDate, 1 -> User::endDate)
When I run this I get an error 0xC0207014: "The SQL command requires a parameter named "@startDate", which is not found in the parameter mapping."
It is true that the sproc in fact requires @startDate and @endDate parameters, so next thing I tried to do is call the sproc the following way: "exec ETL_GetMyData @startDate = ?, @endDate = ?"
To no avail. It gives me the same error. Incidentally, when I hard code both dates like "exec ETL_GetMyData '2006-04-01', '2006-04-02'" everything works well.
Also, I want to mention that in the first two cases, I get an error right in the editor. When I try to parse the statement it gives me "Invalid parameter number" message.
This has been such a pain in my neck. I've waisted the whole day trying to monkey with the various parts of package/statements to get this to work and it still doesn't. I dont' want to say anything about Integration Services design right now, but you probably know what I'm thinking...

So I have been building stored procedures and things were working fine until I hit something that I am sure is incredibly simple to do; however, i have having a hell of a time with it. Here is the code:#############################################ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.GetUserIdForUser @username NVARCHARASBEGINDECLARE @postedbyid UNIQUEIDENTIFIERSET @postedbyid = (SELECT UserIdFROM aspnet_UsersWHERE (UserName = @username))END###Which returns this### Running [dbo].[GetUserIdForUser] ( @username = jason ).No rows affected.(0 row(s) returned)@RETURN_VALUE = 0Finished running [dbo].[GetUserIdForUser].############################################# This is part of a much larger stored procedure, but this is the point of failure in the stored procedure I am trying to build. If anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong I would appreciate it. I have tried a few things that have resulted in different failures. If I remove any references to variables (delete SET @postedbyid = and replace @username with 'jason') I can get it to return a result. If I put @username in though it doesn't work. Here are the examples of those:ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.GetUserIdForUser @username NVARCHARASBEGINSELECT UserIdFROM aspnet_UsersWHERE (UserName = @username)END###Which returns this###Running [dbo].[GetUserIdForUser] ( @username = jason ).UserId -------------------------------------- No rows affected.(0 row(s) returned)@RETURN_VALUE = 0Finished running [dbo].[GetUserIdForUser].

Anyone have any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
In my .NET app I have a search user control. The search control allows the user to pick a series of different data elements in order to further refine your display results. Typically I store the values select in a VarChar(5000) field in the DB. One of the items I recently incorporated into the search tool is a userID (GUID) of the person handling the customer. When I go to pass the selected value to the stored proc
objUpdCommand.Parameters.Add("@criteria", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = strCriteria; I get: Failed to convert parameter value from a String to a Guid. Ugh! It's a string, dummy!!! I have even tried: objUpdCommand.Parameters.Add("@criteria", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = new Guid(strCriteria).ToString(); and
objUpdCommand.Parameters.Add("@criteria", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = new Guid(strCriteria).ToString("B"); but to no avail. How can I pass this to the stored proc without regard for it being a GUID in my app?
